Atlanta Falcons: 5 realistic dream replacements for Dan Quinn in 2021
4. Pete Carmichael
Sean Payton and Drew Brees get all the credit for creating the Saints’ offensive attack, but let’s not pretend that Pete Carmichael- the Saints’ offensive coordinator- hasn’t had a lot to do with it.
Carmichael has been a name on the rise and he’d bring a sense of ‘winning’ and offensive urgency that haven’t been in Atlanta before.
The one thing I like most about Carmichael is his flexibility and ability to adjust. He knows that Brees can’t throw the ball deep. So, what does he do? He uses his play-makers and gets them involved while taking the pressure off an aging quarterback. He throws in a wrinkle with Taysom Hill.
That’s the kind of creativity that needs to be brought to the ATL. The Falcons are desperately in need of a bright mind who can bring enthusiasm to the franchise and Carmichael- love him or hate him- is a guy who could do that.
